Battery energy consumption footprint of embedded multimedia systems

The rapid demand of mobile multimedia causes a grant challenge on energy and environment. However, little research has been done on the carbon footprint of embedded multimedia system. To fill this gap, this paper presents a comprehensive architecture to measure the carbon footprint of H.264 codec, which has been widely used in mobile multimedia systems. The measurement results of H.264 under various system operation modes provide an insightful guideline to design and optimize system parameters to minimize the carbon footprint of various embedded multimedia systems.
